It should be stated here that a friend of the victim had allegedly died by suicide Saturday in Chennai. Since she came to know about it, the girl had been very depressed. May be that is one of the reasons why Upasana herself took the extreme step, the girl’s family members said.

A suicide note was also found near her body. In it she mentioned that, she was under mental stress as she felt that she may not pass NEET. Notably, a similar note was also found near the body of her deceased friend in Chennai, Upasana’s family members said.
